As a family doctor in Southern California, this podcast did blow my mind, has changed the way I think about diet for my diabetic patients, and will change the way I practice medicine. As an aside, I found out my wife went to school with Cyrus, and said he was always the nicest guy. Small world.
Someone should teach these things at schools bc I'm insulin resistant and my doc (no more), after normal blood tests, and ct told me I'm fine. No special blood tests. Nothing. I had to find out on RUclips from docs who treating these things and I started keto month ago but I think gonna change it to this. I really believe it.
If you haven’t done so, check out Dr. Greger’s book How Not to Die & also The Starch Solution by Dr. John McDougall :) I’ve had so many ppl in my family with Type 2 Diabetes who would still be around now had they had this information. Be well!
My type 2 has gotten out of control and my doctor just put me on a Keto diet. Then I stumbled onto this book and I’m ready to go into my doc and show her this book. It is a game changer!!!!’ Its great that you have discovered this for your patients!!!!
I've been Type 2 since 2011. I was told by every doctor to eat meat, dairy and eggs every day because they had very little carb and high fat will slow any carb. My A1c always came back in the high 8's and 9's. On March 4th this year, my A1c came back at 8.3. I had enough of insulin and meds and decided to go vegan. By August, my A1c dropped to 5.9 - prediabetic level, and I did that eatibg veggie burgers and vegan junk food everyday. Now I am WFPB and oil free. I have another test scheduled for December and I'm hoping that will be under 5.6, which will mean it's reversed and I won't have to pay for insulin anymore. Fingers crossed.
Wow! Very encouraging to hear stories like this. I'm also T2D and trying to stick closely to a WFPB diet. Oil is added to almost everything but I'm gradually moving away from oil more and more. Please post an update in December! I also cannot wait for my 3-month metabolic panel test. On my last test everything was normal except for A1C.
@@spektred Hang in there. Look for cool oil free recipes that provide tasty satiating food. In addition to Mastering Diabetes website, you will find good oil free recipes at T. Colin Campbells Center for Nutritional Studies.
I love these guys i feel like they have a real heart and really care about ppl who are struggling with this so called diabetes monster, that scares anyone that is diagnosed. I just found out i was diabetic and they put me on insulin and that my liver had scerosis, i cried every day for 2 weeks. I dont smoke i dont drink alcohol, i dont do drugs, i thought i was eating pretty healthy?? These guys make me feel good to listen to them. Thank you for caring.
I am a doctor (MBBS,India🇮🇳) and I can totally agree that doctors aren't taught anything relevant about nutrition and unfortunately they dont know any better!! This podcast like all other Rich's podcast were science based thought provoking and full of information that should reach more people..Healthy and diabetic!
@@mrmingsun Functionally, the IR caused by high-fat diets IS pathological because studies show that if someone eating a very high fat diet suddenly eats a normal amount of carbs, the resulting blood glucose spike damages their endothelium. It will heal itself, but you don't want to keep doing that.
I have type 1. For 17 years eating a standard Australian healthy diet I could never get my A1C below 9. 3 months following this information it dropped to 6.4!
My husband is T1D and he took is HbA1C down from 7.8 to 6.7 in a month. We went full Vegan, cold turkey, and we haven't regretted one minute. I suffer from Chronic Migraines and IBS and my IBS is non-existent and my migraines have reduced by about 40% already.
These men just irradiate light from their skin. Just looking to their appearance I already trust what they say. I am diabetic for 20 years now and seeing this podcast is like a miracle in my life!!! Thank you so much for studying and sharing this information!! I already bought your book and I will apply everything you say!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Put him on a raw food food plant base diet, the better cells will come back to life. Dr Joel Furhman applied it on a particular type 1 diabetic child and the child got healed completely.
My son has diabetes, and it's overwhelming. What meal plans are used for type 1 diabetic? My son has lost a massive amount of weight and we have no results or support. My son has been hospitalized in several hospital with no accurate results ,just insulin ,introvenous drips and discharged. I as a mother feel helpless, because of this disease. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Just started - 5 days in - definitely learning - I’m 66 years old - type 1.5 for 6 years - energy levels up - decreasing insulin - waiting for the book. I can eat fruit- I am so amazed - insulin sensitivity has improved.
Type 1 here and eating this way has been a game changer for my blood sugars. The lightbulb moment for me was when I cut out oil and fats. I was already vegan but my sugars were terrible. Once I switched to 80-10-10 the magic happened and my insulin sensitivity went through the roof.
You need to specify the kinds of oils that you cut out of your diet. The polyunsaturated fats (i.e. the so-called vegetable oils) are the ones that cause damage to the blood vessels and should therefore be avoided at all costs.
I have to thank these guys! I shared this video with a coworker who has type 2 diabetes and has not been able to keep his blood sugar under control for years. He only eats meat and cheese and still couldn't keep it under control. Any way after only 9 days his blood sugar is coming down! He now even has some control over it with exercise! Before, even exercising vigorously wouldn't bring it down. Before his blood sugar was always around 250-300, even first thing in the morning. After one week of cutting out the fat and eating wholesome carbohydrates he saw his blood sugar hit 125! This is incredible! He is literally blown away by these findings! Thanks so much to Robby and Cyrus for their education and knowledge they've shared! And thanks to Rich Roll for his work in promoting this excellent lifestyle in his podcast! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy that I was a able to be a student and recovering diabetic under the tutelage of Cyrus and Robby. Cyrus and Robby, and their program Mastering Diabetes, was a real life changer for me. I have also seen dozens of other people completely change their lives by following this program. Thanks Rich Roll for having these two guys on your program. Rich, you run a really classy show! Peace and love to all you guys!
@elizabeth Emerson that’s what the studies showed, but that doesn’t mean you should eat that. It still has absolutely no nutrients whatsoever. It just can reverse insulin resistance because its not fat. But refined sugars are still dangerous. I recommend that you go to the Channel: „The Real Truth About Health“ and especially listen to Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s talks about fast food and sugar, you‘ll be able to find them on the channel I just mentioned. Please listen to them, they’re so valid - especially if you life in the USA. Good Luck/success!
Not diabetic but since going plant based my sugars have jumped up so flipping high even though I’m not diabetic and man do I feel it. My mouth tastes like I have just eaten a pound of sugar along with some other symptoms. Just unsure if I’m doing myself more damage than help.
@@SandraMcChannel I was pre-diabetic and started following Dr. McDougall’s Maximum Weight-Loss Plan eating lots of veggies, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Giving up oil was surprisingly easy and I do not miss it at all. I ate fruit to get over my sugar cravings and now eat all-fruit meals for breakfast and some lunches. I’ve lost 95 pounds so far and I’m no longer pre-diabetic! If you’re diabetic, I highly encourage you to get their book Mastering Diabetes to help you get started.
@@bbqutie17 thank you for your tips Dr Roy Taylor and Cyrus khambatta both agree to get fat out of liver and pancreas After a 3-day water fast since Wednesday my blood sugar readings went from 22 mmol to 4.5 mmol Broke my fast today at-4 p.m. with large bowl of sweet potato onion carrot soup 2 hours after eating 7.2 mmol 4 hours are the eating 5.9 mmol 5 hours after eating 5.0 mmol I take no medication for my diabetes And I did no exercise Fantastic results
I found these guys through Chef Aj....this country is on the brink of a health crisus and these people have answers. I am 48 years old and had been keto off and on for years. I was told i have a slower thyroid and im insulin resistant. My fasting glucose is 98. This message is hitting home and will be drastically changing my diet
Type 1 here, this is by far the most interesting thing I've seen about studies around diabetes and diet. In Sweden were told to eat like "normal" ppl and I've tried lots of different diets. The most significant change I've seen in my results is when I became vegetarian. This I believe will take me to there next level. Thanks a lot for this, it'll probably change my life! 🙏💯❤
I totally recommend going vegan - I was a (crappy/lazy/mediocre foods) vegetarian for 5 years, and now vegan transition for about a month or so. If you felt a big impact from meat to vegetarian, I'd say the shift is as big if not way bigger if you go vegan! In any case, I'm very happy for you. Fellow swede here.
I think cyrus. Should look into supplimenting his diet with (Ambrtose pills) made by mannatech company, sold on amazon, these pills are known to reverse many autoimmune Diseases, these pills are nautral supplements, these pills do a lot of good for the body, they supply the 8 essential sugar molecules that the body needs, these sugars does not raise your blood Sugar level. Glyco nutrients, do your research on glyco nutrients, on youtube,
I can watch this over and over. Amazing info. I wish my loved ones would watch this and understand and then implement changes to help their health. Praying for people’s hearts to be open 🙏🏼
Dr. Jason Fung explains insulin resistance in a way that is easily understood. When one understands why insulin resistance happens, I think, then, how to eat becomes much easier as well. Good luck to your mom.
I LOVED the section from about 1:03:30 to 1:12:55. That was a 10 minute MASTERCLASS on the biochemistry of HOW and WHY a high fat diet can lead to insulin sensitivity and potentially diabetes. Brilliant! Rich, I'm so grateful to you for letting Cyrus explain that process through to completion without interrupting him. I'm the kind of person who wants to know WHY. WHY are you telling me to keep dietary fats low? Oh, okay, now I'm armed with the knowledge and understanding which helps me to embody and live and adopt these recommendations. Just like it helps when people like Dr. Goldhamer and Dr. Barnard explain what constitutes healthy fats versus unhealthy fats. I appreciate it so much that you let these guys nerd out on the scientific studies and the biochemistry explanations. I imagine some listeners/viewers won't have appreciated that as much. But I sure did! Thank you.
@@nelsnels1219 Right. There is good fat and there is bad fat. All fats are not the same. Eating low fat has been shown to cause a lot of Dementias. I would like to hear what they have to say about that. Dementia has also been called type 3 diabetes. = Too many carbs. Same with meat. You can not lump all meat into the same group . There are bad meats and there are healthy meats. Not all meat is the same. Also ,what about glycation ? Too much sugar/ carbs causes wrinkles, it breaks down our collagen. Need more answers ...
Your doctor is way ahead of the curve. My doctor prescribed amlodipine and a statin. I never took the statin, and I eventually weaned off the amlodipine because my blood pressure dropped too low on the amlodipine. For me, it was Dr. Joel Fuhrman who really drove the message home. It's hard not to tell everyone, but the message usually falls on deaf ears. The people who are most receptive are sick people looking for help.
@@themotivator2587 Hope your doing better and healing. its a progression I was doing amazing and got my A1C back 5.3 Winter has been rough so I need to get back to working hard and saving myself from myself
I wish I had seen this two years ago. I have learned to change from keto to this program and I’ll keep some of the intermittent fasting, slowly add berries in the morning, using complex carbs, walking more. I’ll make a slow but steady transformation. Many many thanks, especially for the lipid discussion. I’m super grateful and will share this video all over. 🥰👍🏼😘
This is sooooo helpful. I am not fully diabetic but I recently got my check up and my doctor said my A1c is a little high. Now keep in mind everyone in my mom's family has diabetes. I have been trying my best to dodge the bullet! I have always been highly athletic and on Keto diet, all of a sudden I turn 55 and here comes my A1c being a little hight due to genetics/hereditary. I was like WTF! I always try to find my own solution to my problems and here I am listening to you guys. On Monday I will be calling my doctor to tell her I found the solution to my A1c problem. My doctor is great but she is a primary care physician who is not trained in the diabetic area. I will be following you guys to keep myself from becoming full blown diabetic. Thank you for your knowledge 🙏

At 13, I had flu and 6 months later diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, 40 years later Hashimoto’s also. Just received an email from Amazon UK that the Mastering Diabetes book is on its way. Have learnt a lot from these guys and so looking forward to getting the book to learn more 😄
Spicy Artisan Hipster Salami - I’ve met other type 1 diabetics who had, had flu as a child before being diagnosed, and like myself, no other diabetics in immediate family!!
I am so confused that I really don`t know what to eat anymore. Been following a gluten free, dairy free paleoish diet with great results both in weight and energy/performance. Then I come across these guys and I seriously start questioning everything. Again. It`s exausting when every confident expert tells you something different. These guys are telling me that what I eat now will kill me. While the other camp of paleo guys/low carbers are telling me that I will become lathargic and most likely be defficent in various vitamins/minereals if I follow a vegan diet. I am just done.
I understand. I'm a staunch vegan but keep trying different types of veganism. Right now I'm doing lower carb, higher fat. Some things are better, but some things are worse. :-/
you don't need carbs or fruit. nutrient requirements change on lower carb diets. your abortion rate also increases, which means you get adequate mineral levels. meat has the same vitamins you can get from fruit, to prevent scurvy. the reason pirates got scurvy is cause they were eating dried meat(with deteriorated mineral/vitamin content) and biscuits(which are high in carbs). they were not on low-carb diets at all. so don't listen to anyone who talks about pirates and scurvy.
Did people ever agreed on political or religious issues anywhere? Still my take is Whole Food Plant based diet with Intermittent Fasting. Only add Vit. B12.
I had the same confusion then every 3 months after my blood work I changed my diet to see the impact on my general health and next quarterly blood and urine tests. Finally I got rid of all chronic illnesses by eating healthy Vegan, I mean Plant based Whole Foods with Vit. B12 as a supplement. Let me know if you have any questions.
I totally agree, I've noticed this with EVERYTHING, it seems like people usually follow the guy who is the most confident, where my confusion is, is that BOTH ARE VERY CONFIDENT. I love the internet because you can find out anything you want to, it's fascinating and sucks all at the same time because depending on where you live you adopt what you've always been told. (More so when we didn't have the internet) I live in a world of confusion because honestly I don't know who to trust anymore, it's almost like you loose part of your identity, nothing is as solid anymore. At least that is the way it is with me..
I’m seeing results with my son in days!!! It’s working and I haven’t eliminated fish or chicken. What I’ve done is reducing fat and high protein and increasing Whole Foods , quinoa, fruit and veggies.. I love it 😻
This was absolutely THE best conversation. I so respected Khambatta's explanation, especially, of what happens on the keto diet. I've been looking for someone to explain the science behind it and this was done beautifully. Thank you for this!
This is probably one of the most important discussions in America today. It’s simply mind-boggling that the medical community doesn’t seem to give credence to this scientific research. Thank you for putting this information out there.
Yes, over 50% of the American population is either diabetic or pre-diabetic. And diabetes is the leading cause of all major degenerative diseases (hypertension, HBP, stroke, etc.) I'd consider that pretty damn serious.
@@spektred it even raises the risk of dementia, Team Sherzai says. I recommend you go over to their channel to learn more about the brain (because they also have IMPORTANT information) Their channel is called „Sherzai MD“
Hats off to these guys for giving a better understanding and info about the proper biological circunstance surrounding pre diabetes, type 2 diab, and insulin resistance. The truth behind the differentiation of high carb plant based diet and a low carb ketogenic diet has never been clearer , the tole of the proper diet and nutrition has never been crystal clear..until now thanks to these two guys..VERY ENLIGHTENING, IT SETS ME FREE...GOOD JOB
This hit me so hard on an emotional level. I almost started crying. It has been so frustrating for me to try to control my glucose levels. No doctor or physician or dietitian or anyone has ever been able to help me out the correct way except for telling me that the higher the glucose the more insulin I need. I was told I went from being type 2 to being a type 1. It’s so frustrating. Thank you for this podcast.
I kept my A1C result the same five months later. I do fasting 18/4 and lchf diets for 6 months, loss weight from 164 to 115 size 16 to size 1, glucose was 195+++ to 95 or less, A1C was at 8.93 to 4.8, and watch what i eat and exercise. I eat real foods not process. Avoiding sugar, bread, corn, seed fats, and fry foods.
@@punker4Real He has a condition that he had BEFORE switching to the diet that means you have no hair. He is talking about what the research PROVES to be true, so what does it matter what his hair looks like?
@@karlwheatley1244 He is telling everyone the wrong information I know people that actually have diabetic IRL their bIood sugar skyrockets 🚀 to the moon when eating plant sludge.... This is verified with a glucose meter.. even I was a pre diabetic.... I weighted 260 pounds with a size 48 jeans morbidly obese.. as soon as i stopped eating the plant sludge and a 90%-99% meat based diet i'm currently at 185 pounds size 33 jeans .. Doctors can't be trusted since all they are is a drug dealer with an office they don't care about the root of the problem, only HOW MANY DRUGS THEY CAN SELL YOU... Fruits = sugar (fructose ) vegetables = sugar (starches, except for TOXIC leafy green) grains =sugar (starches which is just another word for glucose ) if you don't believe what i'm saying is true go buy a glucose meter... TEST after eating your plant sludge..
@@punker4Real "He is telling everyone the wrong information I know people that actually have diabetic IRL their bIood sugar skyrockets 🚀 to the moon when eating plant sludge.... This is verified with a glucose meter.." Thanks for your reply. I'm a PhD university professor and researcher, and part of what I study and teach about is nutrition--and how people get fooled about it. Notice that you are talking about "plant sludge," by which I assume you mean processed foods, but HE is talking about whole plant foods. Eating WHOLE plant foods (intact grains, legumes, veggies, fruit, some nuts & seeds) is super healthy and ALL large, slim, and almost-totally diabetes-free populations in recent history got the majority or vast majority of their calories from whole food carbs (plant foods). There are no exceptions to that--AND experimental studies prove saturated fat causes insulin resistance, you can cure insulin resistance and get glucose levels under control eating diets that have 70+% of calories from whole food carbs. That means eating natural "carbs" is not the villain--eating too much fat that creates insulin resistance and then eating junk food carbs and excess calories is the villain here. All a glucose meter is telling you is "Yes, I have impaired my body's ability to process whole food carbs normally by FIRST eating too much fat and junk foods." The banana isn't the culprit--those high glucose readings are only a sign you've messed up your system. Diabetes is a multi-step process, and as this video explains in detail, the first step is eating too much fat and getting a build-up of fat inside muscle cells. Start at the 56 minute mark and he very clearly explains that. Of course you can lose weight and get glucose under control by eating lots of meat and animal fat and cutting out the carbs, but you are just dodging the fact your body has been impaired, and ... a) you STILL have insulin resistance and carb intolerance (demonstrated by your inability to rapidly metabolize the glucose in a banana and a couple of slices of bread), b) if you DO eat any significant amount of carbs--a normal human thing to do--the resulting spike in glucose levels damages your endothelium, and c) diets high in meat and animal fat cause more disease in the long run, from heart disease and all its spin-offs to cancers and neurological diseases. What Cyrus is teaching about here is the method of actual curing all facets of diabetes AND eating the diet the provides the best overall long-term health. The research clearly shows that the best overall long-term health outcomes result from eating diets that are very low in fat and dominated by whole plant foods. Take care.
A few years ago, I felt so tired after I had meals without knowing my blood sugar was so high. I ended up A1c around 7.2 amd cholesterol was very high and triglyceride was high. Then I started cutting lots of carb from my meals and added lots of veges. Also I boiled water with cinamon, green teas, ginsang, mulbery leafs, bitter melons, jujubes, other herbs and kept drinking it. Then, when I go back to the doctor, Ab1c was drpped to 5.3 and all kinds of cholesterol got within normal range. By the way, I was taking Metformin 500 mg once a day. So manage your diets, you will feel a lot better. I wish you all the best!
I was so thrilled to see these guys on here and eager to share it with my 19 yr old type 1 son (Diagnosed as a baby at 16 Months old). I went vegan 2 and a half years ago, which has resulted in him going much more plant based, requiring less insulin but still all over the place as far as better glucose control. His endocrinologist adjusts his basal and ISF frequently but does not understand the correlation or implication of eating plant based. I will definitely be buying the book and really thankful for this podcast!
I have been diagnosed with T2D in 2014. I've done Keto, then carnivore since 2018. I lost 60 lbs, improved my A1c from 7 to 5.9, blood pressure was average 114/75 ... all was beautiful on high fat. In the last year, my weight slowly crept up back to the original weight, A1C is back up to 7.9. BP is average 150 / 87 - and I am still Keto/carnivore. I'm weak, my Emphysema is getting worse .... I"m listening to this and will change my eating accordingly.
Starting 1:29:00 understanding the labs associated with reversing insulin resistance. Brilliant. Your plan addresses A1C and glucose challenge which is the real test of insulin sensitivity.
Many people don't know that hypoglycemia can eventually turn into type 2 diabetes. I am currently morphing from being very hypoglycemic years ago to diabetic, but I'm putting up a fight. My numbers are mostly pre-diabetic now. But, in my family line, those who've eaten bad diets ended up on insulin a decade younger than I am now.
Yes, as a young person in my 20’s I also began struggling with hypoglycemia. No doctor actually told me then that this was a major problem that would lead to diabetes later in life. I was only told not to wait too long to eat between meals because my blood sugar would drop. Eat something sugary real quick to get my blood sugar back up. It often made me sick for the rest of the day. Then in my 30’s pregnant with my daughter, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and told I would likely become type 2 diabetic later because of the now gestational diabetes diagnosis. Well by the time I was going through menopause symptoms I was also diagnosed with diabetes. I was in my late 40’s. Doctors has 3 decades to teach me about diet and how to change what was going on in my body so that I never became a diabetic despite hypoglycemia and gestational diabetes. They just let it take it’s course and then ordered me into dietary classes and classes about diabetes. Learning how I got there. I was thinking wow, why didn’t the doctors put me in these classes when I was in my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. They knew I was spiraling out of control because of my American diet and they all just let it happen so that some doctor later would have me as diabetic patient seeing them every three to six months for the rest of my life. Pathetic to say the least! Where am I now? I was able to bring my A1C down to 5.6 two years ago with Ozempic. I had already lost 30 lbs years before and had A1C numbers below 7. I stopped taking Ozempic because of a side affect related to the pancreas if a person has something wrong with it. I have a benign cyst on my pancreas and do not want Ozempic to cause inflammation there. So my numbers are back up again though I’m working out 5 days a week. It is my diet 100% because I have rigorous classes including swimming and walking. Can we please get the truth behind what we are eating. This all starts from the time a baby begins eating table food. I wish I knew when I was having my children. Now I’m trying to get them to read about diabetes and listen to videos like this. I feel like it takes a lifetime for people to listen and learn and make drastic changes.
Great conversation! So awesome that now there are young doctors promoting and clarifying the whole food plant based lifestyle and its benefits. I have experienced myself what they are talking about. I changed my diet from eating 'everything' to vegan, and strictly fruitarian for three years (now I eat whole food vegan low fat), and my life changed radically. I haven't been so healthy in my life, and still going strong at 44. In my family's hystory has type 2 diabetes, but I didn't got sick nor needed a doctor since 11 years. Fruitarian diet is superior in my experience, but socially is not easy, you need to eat a lot of fruits, and you become more sensible to the quality of them, and the imported ones or not ripe ones won't sadisfy you enough. My family and peers weren't so supportive at first, they resisted the new data I was bringing in the family, in Italy we were 10 pp exploring fruitarianism, there were not doctors supporting us, and mainly we got laughted after. But we were shining, like this two guys here, and that is the evidence noone can deny. Stay blessed! ex Giulia-Papaya 😉💕❤
Thank you so much three of you for this! I personally have tried this on my aunty and it worked so well in just two months!!! My journey started watching Nandita Shah Doc and since then i have followed all of you all and the science stays consistent.. doctors dont know though:(:(
I've been doing animal based keto for a couple years, with high carb days sprinkled in. I listen to a lot of low-carb info / promotion, and I like to also listen to opposing views. This channel is a great resource. I've added these guys' book to my reading list. It's interesting how "both sides" have studies and anecdotes to support their recommendations. I'm much more interested in the mechanistic side of things, but overall outcomes i.e. healthspan must be considered also. I wish the discussion on keto would have gotten more technical, since it wasn't even mentioned that ketones are a source of fuel and also act as hormones, and that fats can also be used by many cells directly as fuel. It paints the overall discussion with a heavy slant. Hopefully the book goes into more detail. I like how Rich often brings up the opposing view (in this case, keto) but I can't tell why he's so often satisfied with a shallow exploration and then just moves on. It doesn't seem to be deliberate, but more like confirmation bias. We're only human, though.
This is the nicest and most intelligent comment from a keto follower I have ever read. Usually its fuelled by hatred towards the pb community but your points are pretty good and I love the fact you seem open minded to research and other views. Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity today😊👍
I am not diabetic but have learnt alot to help me avoid becoming one. Have had a genetic test done and found that I have multiple "snips" that suggest a high saturated fat will adversely effect my Blood sugars. Thank you for this informative conversation. It does appear to me that diabetes is the real plague.
I’ve been diabetic since my early 20s. Took Met Forman forever and have seen a slow progression in my diabetes all along on standard American diet which the doctors have prescribed to me. Went to the doctor in January of this year my A-1 C What’s 13 scared me to death have never heard of anyone having a 13. So I am now trying your plan and I’ll let you know.
Only changing to low carb and high fat reversed my high triglycerides and low HDL. Now have a 5.0 A1c. So I don't understand what these guys are talking about.
Ive been testing this for two days. Testing my blood glucose 2 hours post eating and at 12 hours fasting. Absolutely true. Two hours after eating 2 bananas, two pears and an apple I was at 94. I ate a pear and waited an hour. glucose was 81. 12 hours later. Glucose was lower than the meter can detect. I will continue testing, but my results are very close to their data.
Fantastic, but a major complaint. How many of your Costa Rican friends will not understand your wonderful and insightful presentation. As an expat in Brazil, I have Brazilian friends who cannot benefit from this presentation. Consider subtitles for our English learner friends. Most Brazilians would be able to understand your presentation with Spanish subtitles. Consider add subtitles in some other languages to broaden your audience and keep up your great work!
I rarely watch videos more than 15 to 20 minuits max. This has been the best 2 hours of RUclips ever for me. Rich thank you for a very interesting, informative and riveting podcast. Thank you to the two gentlemen for this also. Sorry I can't remember your names. I was pre diabetic, went WFPB but few carbs. Now I am looking foward to my mash potatoe that I just love, and hopefully a lot more energy. I think a hard core carnivour would have to be convinced I they watched this. Again thank you so much.
Like Cyrus I tried the Keto/ Lo-Carb diet with horrible success. I was using 150-200 Units of Insulin. I switched to the Mastering Diabetes way of eating and my Insulin has decreased to 60-70 units a day and I anticipate that it’s going lower. Try this!
Oh wow Robby talking about cystic acne when now his skin on his face is clear as can be :O Both these guys are such engaging, dynamic people. What a great podcast!
Rebecca Marchand-Smith my son took accurate for cistic acne. It healed the acne but then we found out how dangerous is is. I think it there him into an attoimune type of problem
I've been Whole Food Plant Strong for 2 months. When I mentioned to my 18 year old that it may help with his acne he tried it. His acne has almost gone away and he is convinced. He's been Whole Food Plant Strong for a little over a month.
Right around 1:15... That is the HOPE I have needed. I have been searching for a SUSTAINABLE diet that slayed my diabetes. I'm recovering from a severe keto foray, and everything you said right at around 1:15 was the JAAAM. I turned to a plant based food life for HOPE, trying to restore my gut biome and quite miserable. I can't wait to try this.
This is awesome content! My son is a Type 1 and tried Keto/low carb. He did phenomenal with his blood sugars, almost straight line on the CGM BUT when he had a low blood sugar and would correct, his blood sugar would spike double, almost triple what it would have had not on the diet. We never understood why but now we do. Thank you!!
It seems like the big problem in insulin resistance is mixing carbs and fat. These guys resolved and managed insulin issues with a low fat high carb diet. Others seem to do the same on a high fat low carb diet. The problem area seems to be in the middle, where most of us sadly live.
Keto does increase insulin resistance: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31067015 You can argue that it is not as important on a keto diet, but the insulin resistance is there and will give you very high and very long blood sugar spikes when you then eat a normal meal.
"It seems like the big problem in insulin resistance is mixing carbs and fat. These guys resolved and managed insulin issues with a low fat high carb diet. Others seem to do the same on a high fat low carb diet. " The difference is that the very low carb route only fixes your glucose and insulin issues, but you still have insulin resistance and carb intolerance. Very low fat whole food plant based fixes the insulin resistance and carb intolerance too.
Im pairing HCLF with IF and lots of exercise. If you do mini workouts throughout the day it definitely improves insulin sensitivity and weight lifting is like free insulin to the body.
Jayda Millions I did, lost 60 lbs in the first 3 months and normalized blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure and GERD. My inflammation has been drastically reduced. I've lost an additional 26 lbs since and now that my chronic pain and inflammation is gone I intend to add exercise.

Wow! There have been some stellar episodes of RRP, it this is, hands down, the BEST episode yet! Cyrus and Robby are both so dynamic and educated and entertaining and the information is so exciting and fascinating!
I am a doctor (MBBS,India🇮🇳) and I can totally agree that doctors aren't taught anything relevant about nutrition and unfortunately they dont know any better!! This podcast like all other Rich's podcast were science based thought provoking and full of information that should reach more people..Healthy and diabetic!
Now i am definitely confused :( Just watched a bunch of podcasts telling me how low carb/keto is gonna help with my auto immune desease, how its gonna make me live longer and generally healthier, because we are (evolutionary speaking) not used to eating that many carbs. And they also tell what eating lots of carbs is gonna cause like alzheimers and how ketogenic is showing improvements with alzheimer's and it made kinda sense that ketones are good for your brain( a neuro surgeon talked about that topic). And than are these guys who just tell the complete opposite and also back it up with "science" just like the other people did :/
The low carb promoters are lying to you. See plantpositive.com. The fact that they're lying does not mean that the diet they recommend can't be useful. It can be useful for a few but it's a very high risk and very unnatural diet.
The problem becomes when you combine high carb processed foods/oils with sugar. Isn't that the typical american diet which is causing all the health problems? Remove the processed foods/oils and eat a high carb whole foods/veggies diet and it might be ok.........for how long depends on the individual. Be aware that only 20% of the population will do fine on a high carb diet. Or, drop all the processed foods/oils and do a very LCHF (animal based fats) diet and you'll do excellent, that is, if you're not one of those who do best on a HCLF diet.
Btw, most of the science that these people are talking about are based on Epidemiological studies, which have been proven to not be reliable. And maybe that these guys are of the few who can do very well on a high carb diet.
@@CarschA There is no evidence at all that low carb diets based on animal origin foods are better than SAD based on junk foods. In fact the epidemiological evidence says the opposite. The animal foods are good for weight loss simply because they're unhealthy and you can't easily overeat on the most unhealthy foods.
@@tracyshaw5218 Dear Ms Shaw, unfortunately this is almost impossible. Ignorance and prejudice is unbelievably huge in medicine. Also the megalomania of many colleagues supports this teribbly impaired way of conducting medical practice.
@@incifisenk9945 Hi colleague! Same thing here in Finland. I irritate nutritionists and health professionals, who (for the reason I can´t figure out) don´t want to hear/read/discover about the different health effects between animal and plant proteins. Fortunately patients are more open minded. In what country do you live?
Soili Kasanen Hi🙋🏻Thank you for your kind sharing of experiences and observation on your country. I live in Turkey. My mother was an MD, too. For many decades, medical academic authorities had lynched even prestigious scientists who had alternative perspectives on nutrition and medicine. On the other side, for about 20 years my country has been ruled by an islamic government which gives extreme credit to abusive, nonscience, traditional practices. Briefly everything is getting worse for us who hold on scientific methods and rely on science based literature on medical practice. As a clinical microbiology specialist I am lucky; this abusive point of view can not approach to laboratory practices.
Thankyou , for this interview , and the info .I am doing there diet with no vegetable fat at all , got ride of avacadoes . and a little meat , was pre diabetic .I enjoyed five oranges was so nice . My blood glucose is slowly coming down .I was running to fined answers , Theise guys where last resort , was scared and skeptical , but now a believer . Thankyou .
I was a believer in low diets for two decades, but only lost a significant amount of weight the first time. The following times they were disappointing as I ended up stalling pretty soon and I believe they just made me insulin resistant. Nine years ago I went plant-based and lost more than 30 pounds. unfortunately during a period of high stress I fell off the wagon and begsn eating lots of junk food , and even though I stopped that I later added cheese back. I also started eating fish, mostly oily canned fish, and I ended up with T2D. Remembering what Dr. Neil, Bernard had said, I finally decided to go back to eating totally Plant based and eliminate added oils, at least as much as possible (I love natural peanut butter but I pour off a lot of the oil). I couldn’t quit “cold turkey” so only very recently I became plant-based again but I feel very motivated and hopeful.
I am 65 years old and don't have diabetes. I switched to a ketogenic diet along with intermittent fasting. Fat intake is ~40% or less with lots of vegetables, no processed grains, low sugar intake. I lost 30 lbs (180 to 150) and my energy level has increased dramatically. I guess that a low carb diet works as long as your pancreas is healthy.My arthritis has decreased dramatically.
What a great interview! I'm curious how the liver can handle so much fructose? IIRC fructose can only be processed in the liver, unlike glucose which is used throughout the body. How does the body process so much fructose? Particularly in the presence of fatty liver disease, a precursor to insulin resistance.
There's lots of ideas on how to eat, but avoiding processed foods/sugar and adding fasting to your life seems to really heal the body overall for every type of eater. Great info!
Cyrus commented that 90 percent of doctors are not trained in diet. I would add that the remaining doctors who are trained in diet , about 90 percent of those doctors are trained to advocate an improper diet. This is even more true for registered dietitians. There are, relatively, very few Dr. McDougalls, Neil Barnards or Caldwell Esselstyns out there who know the actual truth about the positive results obtained by eating a plant based and low fat diet. A whole foods, plant based, low fat diet is good for you, not only for diabetes type 1, 2, and 1.5, but also for obesity, cardiovascular risk, stroke risk, and other common diseases seen in Western society. I went through Cyrus and Robby's entire course online and it really helped me a lot.
@Billy Rich so you are just going to ignore the fact that most doctors and dieticians dont know what they are talking about, or are compromised? you just did whats called a red herring.. no one is saying what you are claiming, and you are simply using it as a diversion.... its not like doctors and dieticians cant change, and many are. its not that hard to get educated on the topic. i doubt you are vegan, and if you are, your willingness to be intellectually dishonest is definitely not a boon
@billy rich i dont understand how your indignation is a valid argument.. who gives a fuck what you think, seriously? why dont you shut the fuck up, because all you are doing is making noise
@Billy Rich vegan dogma? the reason it seems rediculous to them is becsuse theyve literally been indoctrinated into exploiting animals.. children are taught responsibility with animals, they are indoctrinated to see them as objects... exactly WHAT IS you justification for needlessly exploiting animals that other indoctrinated people find rational? come on mr "vegan"
Why a non-starch diet? what about sweet potatoes. FOK and McDougall have no issues with any type of potato...as long as it's prepared without any oils, fats, etc.
Correct, eating a whole foods plant-based diet with limited or no added oils is the best way to prepare potatoes. Potatoes offer SO many nutrients (especially orange and purple ones) to help manage health problems. In fact a quick tip: you can cook potatoes the night before, refrigerate them, and then their starch content will decrease. :)
If you listen to the full interview, they talk about 3 groups of food - green, yellow and red. Starchy veg is in the green group, so are beans and wholegrains (in other words, can eat in abundance). They do mention T1 might need tweaking with these rules though. However their personal preferences are to eat mostly raw.
Rose 🌹 Ambroise has the same problem you both had, and now I am learning how to eat right ✅️ because of mastering diabetes. Even it's 🚶♂️ up,down, but still not 650,,600 300 '!it is lower than 300 sometimes
From the videos that I have watched since starting a low carb diet, I have realised that we each need to discover what works best for us as an individual.
I agree. I'm NOT diabetic but I'm also fighting with under active Thyroid and I JUST got the SCALE to move by RESTRICTING my CARBS..... I've been Vegan for over a year but veggies and fruits MOSTLY contain CARBS..... So I HAD to back out of there and add in some tuna ...... PLUS intermittent fasting, which works for me.........😊
I am getting great results from intermittent fasting. My diabetes is reversed with out medication, plus i lost a lot of weight, and i am not shying away from eating carbs, proteins, dairy products and fruits.
Me too! I’m so glad you are having better health . Timing is important to let your blood insulin levels to go down - not just your blood glucose levels. I’m finding myself eating more like two meals a day now - because, my hunger is less & I like pretty filling full meals anyway - I really cue into when I am truly hungry before I eat & having a good amount of time abstaining from food at night -till the next day is important -12-18 hours
it all makes sense because my grandpa was recently told he's pre diabetic and the doctor told him to cut carbs, but his diet literally consists of meat, potatoes, white bread, dairy, fish every so often, some veg, and that's about it, he's very lean borderline underweight and always has been, he hates sweet foods so doesn't really eat fruit or chocolate, no wonder he's pre diabetic, his diet is mainly animal products and refined carbs rather than based on whole plant foods, I hope I can tell him about this and he'll actually listen because I'm studying nutrition and already knew cutting carbs was not gonna help because unrefined carbs are what every human diet should mainly consist of, hopefully one day nutrition will be taught in schools and everyone can be healthier
Turned on to Rich Roll from Health Theory and Joe Rogan podcast and this has easily become one of my favorite podcast. I love the content, keep it coming!
So here’s my question, if insulin resistance is caused by excess lipid accumulation in the body then wouldn’t it make sense to focus on reducing that accumulation? Couldn’t it make sense to do a keto type diet which causes your body to burn that fat as fuel so that your overall lipid accumulation decreases. Wouldn’t your insulin resistance improve as a factor of the overall decrease in stored lipids? What are the down sides this strategy?
@@blacksmithie I know I don’t need it. In fact I’ve lost a bunch of weight and fat recently by committing to eating wfpb. Seems like a lot of people benefit from keto so I still would like to better understand the science.
"So here’s my question, if insulin resistance is caused by excess lipid accumulation in the body then wouldn’t it make sense to focus on reducing that accumulation? Couldn’t it make sense to do a keto type diet which causes your body to burn that fat as fuel so that your overall lipid accumulation decreases." Vegans eating very low-fat diets have been found to about 1/3 less fat in their muscles than omnivores and low fat whole food plant-based diets are best for boosting the thermic effect of foods, indicating they do best to clear the excess fat out of muscles and prevent IR.
@@karlwheatley1244 If you have a source handy that would be great. Otherwise, no worries. I am vegan myself btw but just trying to understand the body and nutrition better.
Alabama Chick Yes I plant-based I took a whole year off from it and did keto to see how it would affect my health and I got pretty sick I did a video about it on my channel that you may find interesting
I tried keto too and what he's saying is 100% correct. My insulin resistance got better but I had zero energy in the gym and I was loosing my muscle mass. Thomas D is full of **** 100% plant strong and feeling way better 🌱👍🏼
On keto and too hit the weights and do cardio...but..im drained physically before I start. I actually force myself. Been doing low carbs, high fats and concerned...and starting to ween of. Sounds like carbs are ok...to a limit. Geez. Hope I don't mess myself up. Smh
Most doctors I know don't support a "low carb diet" vegetables have a lot of carbs. What doctors have told me is to reduce grain based carbs (bread, gluten, bagels, rice etc). You can eat all the high carb vegetables that you want.
I am so glad this worked for you. As I understand it, the reason you can eat so much fruit and not impact your glucose is because the sugar in fruit is fructose which is digested in the liver into fat, if glucose is not needed. The leafy green and non-starchy vegetables are low carb. If I eat grains, starchy vegetables or sugar my glucose levels rise significantly. I can’t handle that type of food. You are scary to me, many of us with type 1 diabetes are doing very well on low carb diets. I would be able to respect you if you would offer this as an option, not the only solution. Everyone is different and our systems do better on different diets. Anyone interested in an alternative please check out Ben Bikman videos on RUclips.
Yes, it did seem to ignore what people also achieve on other dietary protocols. The outcome is the thing. It just seems like there are more ways to get thre than this podcast suggests.
Ki Rort - As a late 50's male Type 2 diabetic I most recently tried and stopped doing a totally WFPB diet CORRECTLY for 17 days, on day 17 my gums started to bleed a lot out of nowhere so I went into a dentist on a last-second emergency appointment and he asked me if I was vegan??? I was startled as like he was reading my mind, I told him yes for 17 days - he told me that this diet is doing this to me and other patients with the same and if I want to retain the remainder of my teeth I need to cease this diet immediately!!! He told me that the symptoms match low protein (even though I was eating so much lentils and beans for that) and that my body was begging for animal protein. Also I'll add that my fasting blood sugars were getting progressively worse last day at 181 and I was mostly feeling cold - not good!!!!! I did enjoy the foods and regret this didn't work for me, so I'm taking a step back to review if this diet is something I could possibly entertain doing in the future - otherwise, back to a keto-ish diet I go where I know my fasting blood sugars can be controlled, I feel like I'm in "food jail" and I don't want to take medications or insulin as the side effects will get me plus the high $ cost. I have a freezer filled with organic fruits that I don't know what to do with lol!
@@sandray7609 "how come the rest of us are fine after many years?" The "rest of us" is a subjective number, plenty of YT videos of EX-vegans who did a WFPB correctly for years who got sick and many with dental/digestive/skin/hair issues as well as some becoming anemic, also YT content on how badly many vegans age as well as there are many like me that haven't commented in these comments. By going low carb I know that I'm suppressing the type 2 diabetic issues but I do get normal blood sugars without any meds or insulin which I never took and refuse to in my life as a Type 2 diabetic. Do I wish I can eat a WFPB without meds/insulin/health issues? - YES! Might I try again without eating any starchy veggies which does a number on my fasting/daily blood sugars? - maybe. If these two people in the video were in my state I would pay them a visit. Anyone who wants to tell me "if" I did anything wrong by what I've commented on here and "if" it can be done without meds/insulin - I'm all ears as I have a freezer full of organic fruit ready to eat lol!
Links to all mentioned studies here, please! Cyrus is saying all the time: "One study says". Please, list them. I want to see that magical statistical significance guys. There is also not a single study reference in the Rich Roll website under this episode. Cheers!
I take 2 1000mg Cinnamon twice a day morning and evening and within 6 months my diabetes was gone. I stopped taking when doctor said I didn't have diabetes anymore and eventually my diabetes came back. I have started taking cinnamon again and my a1 c is going down again. So I have learned I can not stop taking the cinnamon. I have type 2 diabetes. What are your thoughts?
I have been coming back to this for a wjile now and it just blows my mind the confirmation of Dr Mc Dougal and Dr Niel Barnard and Dr Joel Fuhlman . I am not diabetic yet but I suspect I could be prediabetic if I do not change how I eat I will embark on the programe Though not sure about being on a mostly raw diet I am willing to try I love potatoes rice and sweet potatoes though Thanks again Your all are the best
Thanks, fellas! I'm sick of hearing all the so-called experts' bash carbohydrate-rich foods and telling people that keto/carnivore is the only way to reverse diabetes.
I think that the Intermittent fasting aspect of autophagy is what helps your body heal itself. Then you burn fat as ketones as fuel instead of carbohydrates. You also heal your gut microbiome. Keto is not high protein, but is actually lots of greens and fiber filled vegetables. Fruit that has fiber is ok but limited. As you heal your insulin resistance you can add more and more carbs. Sugar and processed foods of course are not in the diet due mostly because they affect our body in negative ways. Omega 6 fats are the kind of fats that cause the "fat issue". They are canola, soy, safflower, and other vegetable oils that cause the insulin resistance. We do need healthy fats that are Omega 3's and not vegetable oils. Most keto doctors do not encourage high animal proteins or fats. Instead the fats come from healthy omega 3 rich foods or oils. The idea is to first fix your gut bacteria and hormones so you are not craving food all day which causes weight gain and possibly metabolic issues. Most doctors also do not say to eat large portions of meat. The idea is for a person to release fat to be burned instead of carbohydrates. When you get healthy you can add carbs back. I like not craving food all day. If someone is not eating properly on the keto diet it will eventually show problems. Losing weight does not mean you are healthy. i do not think these two have really done their homework on what people experience on a healthy keto diet. I eat pretty much all kinds of healthy foods on the keto diet.
It's funny at the end of the podcast when they start talking about peer pressure and or outside influence and ways to combat it. I went wfpb over five years ago and I would just say to all involved, "doctors orders". Little did anyone know, except a few insiders, was I am the doctor...... ; )

I guarantee intermittent fasting will change your life for the better! You are going in the right direction. Over consumption is why most people end up with diabetes. Besides eating a crappy diet. Avoid bread products and corn products...its like eating garbage
I love Cyrus and Robby not just because they are 100% right scientifically, but because they completely understand why people stick to low-carb diets. They don't do it because they are gluttons, or love bacon, or love hearing "good news about bad habits." They don't do it because they hate animals or the environment. They do it because 1) IT WORKS short-term and in fact improves all health measures - blood sugar, LDL, blood pressure and 2) They are LIED TO about WHY it works so they ruin their health long term. Robby totally nails it when he says, "They eat themselves into a state of insulin resistance and carb intolerance." This was me for years and years and I blamed myself for not sticking strictly enough to a low-carb diet because every bite of rice put on pounds overnight. I was sure the "natural" diet had to be mostly meat because anything else I just couldn't tolerate. I had CREATED insulin resistance with the low-carb high-fat diet that gave me the only way to lose weight I had knew of at that time. People need to know this, and they can't hear you if you're just telling them what gluttonous lazy bacon-loving liars they are. You have to say, "yeah, low-carb worked, this his HOW it worked short-term and this is WHY it made things so much worse long-term." Thanks so much you guys! The world needs you!
They are factually wrong about the biochemistry. They ignore the mechanism that increases adipocyte size. Insulin drives both fat and carbs into fat cells. The Western diet suffers from too many refined carbs driving glucose into fat cells where it is converted into triglycerides. Insulin also inhibits hormone sensitive lipase thereby blocking fat oxidation. Hence we get fat when we eat high carbs. Low glycemic carbs are your best bet...and I think that is what they are recommending.....but carbs also drive hunger and are not good for satiety.....cheat time! Fat + Carbs (any carbs) is a disaster.
As a family doctor in Southern California, this podcast did blow my mind, has changed the way I think about diet for my diabetic patients, and will change the way I practice medicine. As an aside, I found out my wife went to school with Cyrus, and said he was always the nicest guy. Small world.
Someone should teach these things at schools bc I'm insulin resistant and my doc (no more), after normal blood tests, and ct told me I'm fine. No special blood tests. Nothing. I had to find out on RUclips from docs who treating these things and I started keto month ago but I think gonna change it to this. I really believe it.
If you haven’t done so, check out Dr. Greger’s book How Not to Die & also The Starch Solution by Dr. John McDougall :) I’ve had so many ppl in my family with Type 2 Diabetes who would still be around now had they had this information. Be well!

I've been Type 2 since 2011. I was told by every doctor to eat meat, dairy and eggs every day because they had very little carb and high fat will slow any carb. My A1c always came back in the high 8's and 9's. On March 4th this year, my A1c came back at 8.3. I had enough of insulin and meds and decided to go vegan. By August, my A1c dropped to 5.9 - prediabetic level, and I did that eatibg veggie burgers and vegan junk food everyday. Now I am WFPB and oil free. I have another test scheduled for December and I'm hoping that will be under 5.6, which will mean it's reversed and I won't have to pay for insulin anymore. Fingers crossed.
Wow! Very encouraging to hear stories like this. I'm also T2D and trying to stick closely to a WFPB diet. Oil is added to almost everything but I'm gradually moving away from oil more and more.

Hello doctor. Do you agree fatty acids go inside cells? Or they are mistaken of how lipid droplets get in?
And do you think Cyrus is talking about physiological IR and not pathological?
@@mrmingsun they know What they are Talking about
@@mrmingsun Functionally, the IR caused by high-fat diets IS pathological because studies show that if someone eating a very high fat diet suddenly eats a normal amount of carbs, the resulting blood glucose spike damages their endothelium. It will heal itself, but you don't want to keep doing that.

Type 1 here and eating this way has been a game changer for my blood sugars. The lightbulb moment for me was when I cut out oil and fats. I was already vegan but my sugars were terrible. Once I switched to 80-10-10 the magic happened and my insulin sensitivity went through the roof.
What about real olive oil, avocodo oil & coconut oil?
You need to specify the kinds of oils that you cut out of your diet.
The polyunsaturated fats (i.e. the so-called vegetable oils) are the ones that cause damage to the blood vessels and should therefore be avoided at all costs.

I have to thank these guys! I shared this video with a coworker who has type 2 diabetes and has not been able to keep his blood sugar under control for years. He only eats meat and cheese and still couldn't keep it under control. Any way after only 9 days his blood sugar is coming down! He now even has some control over it with exercise! Before, even exercising vigorously wouldn't bring it down. Before his blood sugar was always around 250-300, even first thing in the morning. After one week of cutting out the fat and eating wholesome carbohydrates he saw his blood sugar hit 125! This is incredible! He is literally blown away by these findings! Thanks so much to Robby and Cyrus for their education and knowledge they've shared! And thanks to Rich Roll for his work in promoting this excellent lifestyle in his podcast! ❤️❤️❤️

@elizabeth Emerson that’s what the studies showed, but that doesn’t mean you should eat that. It still has absolutely no nutrients whatsoever. It just can reverse insulin resistance because its not fat. But refined sugars are still dangerous.
I recommend that you go to the Channel: „The Real Truth About Health“ and especially listen to Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s talks about fast food and sugar, you‘ll be able to find them on the channel I just mentioned.
Please listen to them, they’re so valid - especially if you life in the USA.
Good Luck/success!
Do you eat meat or fish at all?
@@elizabetharowolo7651 No.
Started this program during pandemic and it works. First time Blood sugar in the normal range for many years.
Was you mainly fruit-based or vegetable based
Did you miss the oil?
Any tips for me
Not diabetic but since going plant based my sugars have jumped up so flipping high even though I’m not diabetic and man do I feel it. My mouth tastes like I have just eaten a pound of sugar along with some other symptoms. Just unsure if I’m doing myself more damage than help.
@@SandraMcChannel I was pre-diabetic and started following Dr. McDougall’s Maximum Weight-Loss Plan eating lots of veggies, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Giving up oil was surprisingly easy and I do not miss it at all. I ate fruit to get over my sugar cravings and now eat all-fruit meals for breakfast and some lunches. I’ve lost 95 pounds so far and I’m no longer pre-diabetic! If you’re diabetic, I highly encourage you to get their book Mastering Diabetes to help you get started.
@@bbqutie17 thank you for your tips
Dr Roy Taylor and Cyrus khambatta both agree to get fat out of liver and pancreas
After a 3-day water fast since Wednesday my blood sugar readings went from 22 mmol to 4.5 mmol
Broke my fast today at-4 p.m. with large bowl of sweet potato onion carrot soup
2 hours after eating 7.2 mmol
4 hours are the eating 5.9 mmol
5 hours after eating 5.0 mmol
I take no medication for my diabetes
And I did no exercise
Fantastic results

I found these guys through Chef Aj....this country is on the brink of a health crisus and these people have answers. I am 48 years old and had been keto off and on for years. I was told i have a slower thyroid and im insulin resistant. My fasting glucose is 98. This message is hitting home and will be drastically changing my diet
Type 1 here, this is by far the most interesting thing I've seen about studies around diabetes and diet. In Sweden were told to eat like "normal" ppl and I've tried lots of different diets. The most significant change I've seen in my results is when I became vegetarian. This I believe will take me to there next level. Thanks a lot for this, it'll probably change my life! 🙏💯❤
I totally recommend going vegan - I was a (crappy/lazy/mediocre foods) vegetarian for 5 years, and now vegan transition for about a month or so.
If you felt a big impact from meat to vegetarian, I'd say the shift is as big if not way bigger if you go vegan!
In any case, I'm very happy for you. Fellow swede here.
I think cyrus. Should look into supplimenting his diet with

I sent this video to my mom, pre-diabetic. I hope she listens to it. So powerful
Dr. Jason Fung explains insulin resistance in a way that is easily understood. When one understands why insulin resistance happens, I think, then, how to eat becomes much easier as well. Good luck to your mom.
I LOVED the section from about 1:03:30 to 1:12:55. That was a 10 minute MASTERCLASS on the biochemistry of HOW and WHY a high fat diet can lead to insulin sensitivity and potentially diabetes. Brilliant! Rich, I'm so grateful to you for letting Cyrus explain that process through to completion without interrupting him. I'm the kind of person who wants to know WHY. WHY are you telling me to keep dietary fats low? Oh, okay, now I'm armed with the knowledge and understanding which helps me to embody and live and adopt these recommendations. Just like it helps when people like Dr. Goldhamer and Dr. Barnard explain what constitutes healthy fats versus unhealthy fats. I appreciate it so much that you let these guys nerd out on the scientific studies and the biochemistry explanations. I imagine some listeners/viewers won't have appreciated that as much. But I sure did! Thank you.

You are so right! This was terrific! Cyrus being a PhD nutritional biochemist gives his words so much credibility!
@@nelsnels1219 Right. There is good fat and there is bad fat. All fats are not the same. Eating low fat has been shown to cause a lot of Dementias. I would like to hear what they have to say about that. Dementia has also been called type 3 diabetes. = Too many carbs. Same with meat. You can not lump all meat into the same group . There are bad meats and there are healthy meats. Not all meat is the same. Also ,what about glycation ? Too much sugar/ carbs causes wrinkles, it breaks down our collagen. Need more answers ...
These never happen. My liver enzymes AST/ALT are in the teens. I've been keto low carb since 2018😂
My New Doctor Just opened my eyes to this whole plant based life. His Perscriction was to watch this video
I hope more doctors do the same.
That's impressive
Your doctor is way ahead of the curve. My doctor prescribed amlodipine and a statin. I never took the statin, and I eventually weaned off the amlodipine because my blood pressure dropped too low on the amlodipine. For me, it was Dr. Joel Fuhrman who really drove the message home. It's hard not to tell everyone, but the message usually falls on deaf ears. The people who are most receptive are sick people looking for help.

I am so confused that I really don`t know what to eat anymore. Been following a gluten free, dairy free paleoish diet with great results both in weight and energy/performance. Then I come across these guys and I seriously start questioning everything. Again. It`s exausting when every confident expert tells you something different. These guys are telling me that what I eat now will kill me. While the other camp of paleo guys/low carbers are telling me that I will become lathargic and most likely be defficent in various vitamins/minereals if I follow a vegan diet. I am just done.
I understand. I'm a staunch vegan but keep trying different types of veganism. Right now I'm doing lower carb, higher fat. Some things are better, but some things are worse. :-/
you don't need carbs or fruit. nutrient requirements change on lower carb diets. your abortion rate also increases, which means you get adequate mineral levels. meat has the same vitamins you can get from fruit, to prevent scurvy.
the reason pirates got scurvy is cause they were eating dried meat(with deteriorated mineral/vitamin content) and biscuits(which are high in carbs). they were not on low-carb diets at all. so don't listen to anyone who talks about pirates and scurvy.
Did people ever agreed on political or religious issues anywhere? Still my take is Whole Food Plant based diet with Intermittent Fasting. Only add Vit. B12.
I had the same confusion then every 3 months after my blood work I changed my diet to see the impact on my general health and next quarterly blood and urine tests. Finally I got rid of all chronic illnesses by eating healthy Vegan, I mean Plant based Whole Foods with Vit. B12 as a supplement. Let me know if you have any questions.
I totally agree, I've noticed this with EVERYTHING, it seems like people usually follow the guy who is the most confident, where my confusion is, is that BOTH ARE VERY CONFIDENT. I love the internet because you can find out anything you want to, it's fascinating and sucks all at the same time because depending on where you live you adopt what you've always been told. (More so when we didn't have the internet) I live in a world of confusion because honestly I don't know who to trust anymore, it's almost like you loose part of your identity, nothing is as solid anymore. At least that is the way it is with me..
I’m seeing results with my son in days!!! It’s working and I haven’t eliminated fish or chicken. What I’ve done is reducing fat and high protein and increasing Whole Foods , quinoa, fruit and veggies.. I love it 😻
How can I afford to do that MONEY??
This was absolutely THE best conversation. I so respected Khambatta's explanation, especially, of what happens on the keto diet. I've been looking for someone to explain the science behind it and this was done beautifully. Thank you for this!
This is probably one of the most important discussions in America today. It’s simply mind-boggling that the medical community doesn’t seem to give credence to this scientific research. Thank you for putting this information out there.
Yes, over 50% of the American population is either diabetic or pre-diabetic. And diabetes is the leading cause of all major degenerative diseases (hypertension, HBP, stroke, etc.) I'd consider that pretty damn serious.

@@punker4Real "He is telling everyone the wrong information I know people that actually have diabetic IRL their bIood sugar skyrockets 🚀 to the moon when eating plant sludge.... This is verified with a glucose meter.."
Thanks for your reply. I'm a PhD university professor and researcher, and part of what I study and teach about is nutrition--and how people get fooled about it. Notice that you are talking about "plant sludge," by which I assume you mean processed foods, but HE is talking about whole plant foods. Eating WHOLE plant foods (intact grains, legumes, veggies, fruit, some nuts & seeds) is super healthy and ALL large, slim, and almost-totally diabetes-free populations in recent history got the majority or vast majority of their calories from whole food carbs (plant foods). There are no exceptions to that--AND experimental studies prove saturated fat causes insulin resistance, you can cure insulin resistance and get glucose levels under control eating diets that have 70+% of calories from whole food carbs. That means eating natural "carbs" is not the villain--eating too much fat that creates insulin resistance and then eating junk food carbs and excess calories is the villain here.
All a glucose meter is telling you is "Yes, I have impaired my body's ability to process whole food carbs normally by FIRST eating too much fat and junk foods." The banana isn't the culprit--those high glucose readings are only a sign you've messed up your system.
Diabetes is a multi-step process, and as this video explains in detail, the first step is eating too much fat and getting a build-up of fat inside muscle cells. Start at the 56 minute mark and he very clearly explains that.
Of course you can lose weight and get glucose under control by eating lots of meat and animal fat and cutting out the carbs, but you are just dodging the fact your body has been impaired, and ...
a) you STILL have insulin resistance and carb intolerance (demonstrated by your inability to rapidly metabolize the glucose in a banana and a couple of slices of bread),
b) if you DO eat any significant amount of carbs--a normal human thing to do--the resulting spike in glucose levels damages your endothelium, and
c) diets high in meat and animal fat cause more disease in the long run, from heart disease and all its spin-offs to cancers and neurological diseases.
What Cyrus is teaching about here is the method of actual curing all facets of diabetes AND eating the diet the provides the best overall long-term health. The research clearly shows that the best overall long-term health outcomes result from eating diets that are very low in fat and dominated by whole plant foods.
Take care.
Wow! I have been type 2 Diabetic since 06/19/2020! For 2 years i have literally tried everything and your story gives me comfort! Blessings….
A few years ago, I felt so tired after I had meals without knowing my blood sugar was so high. I ended up A1c around 7.2 amd cholesterol was very high and triglyceride was high. Then I started cutting lots of carb from my meals and added lots of veges. Also I boiled water with cinamon, green teas, ginsang, mulbery leafs, bitter melons, jujubes, other herbs and kept drinking it. Then, when I go back to the doctor, Ab1c was drpped to 5.3 and all kinds of cholesterol got within normal range. By the way, I was taking Metformin 500 mg once a day. So manage your diets, you will feel a lot better. I wish you all the best!
I was so thrilled to see these guys on here and eager to share it with my 19 yr old type 1 son (Diagnosed as a baby at 16 Months old). I went vegan 2 and a half years ago, which has resulted in him going much more plant based, requiring less insulin but still all over the place as far as better glucose control. His endocrinologist adjusts his basal and ISF frequently but does not understand the correlation or implication of eating plant based. I will definitely be buying the book and really thankful for this podcast!
Same your money and buy Dr Bernstein diabetes solution instead.
I have been diagnosed with T2D in 2014. I've done Keto, then carnivore since 2018. I lost 60 lbs, improved my A1c from 7 to 5.9, blood pressure was average 114/75 ... all was beautiful on high fat. In the last year, my weight slowly crept up back to the original weight, A1C is back up to 7.9. BP is average 150 / 87 - and I am still Keto/carnivore. I'm weak, my Emphysema is getting worse ....

Many people don't know that hypoglycemia can eventually turn into type 2 diabetes. I am currently morphing from being very hypoglycemic years ago to diabetic, but I'm putting up a fight. My numbers are mostly pre-diabetic now. But, in my family line, those who've eaten bad diets ended up on insulin a decade younger than I am now.
Yes, as a young person in my 20’s I also began struggling with hypoglycemia. No doctor actually told me then that this was a major problem that would lead to diabetes later in life. I was only told not to wait too long to eat between meals because my blood sugar would drop. Eat something sugary real quick to get my blood sugar back up. It often made me sick for the rest of the day. Then in my 30’s pregnant with my daughter, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and told I would likely become type 2 diabetic later because of the now gestational diabetes diagnosis. Well by the time I was going through menopause symptoms I was also diagnosed with diabetes. I was in my late 40’s. Doctors has 3 decades to teach me about diet and how to change what was going on in my body so that I never became a diabetic despite hypoglycemia and gestational diabetes. They just let it take it’s course and then ordered me into dietary classes and classes about diabetes. Learning how I got there. I was thinking wow, why didn’t the doctors put me in these classes when I was in my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. They knew I was spiraling out of control because of my American diet and they all just let it happen so that some doctor later would have me as diabetic patient seeing them every three to six months for the rest of my life. Pathetic to say the least! Where am I now? I was able to bring my A1C down to 5.6 two years ago with Ozempic. I had already lost 30 lbs years before and had A1C numbers below 7. I stopped taking Ozempic because of a side affect related to the pancreas if a person has something wrong with it. I have a benign cyst on my pancreas and do not want Ozempic to cause inflammation there. So my numbers are back up again though I’m working out 5 days a week. It is my diet 100% because I have rigorous classes including swimming and walking. Can we please get the truth behind what we are eating. This all starts from the time a baby begins eating table food. I wish I knew when I was having my children. Now I’m trying to get them to read about diabetes and listen to videos like this. I feel like it takes a lifetime for people to listen and learn and make drastic changes.
@lisaadams780 You wrote a great comment. Indeed PREVENTION is the key word modern medicine ignores like totally crazy.
Great conversation! So awesome that now there are young doctors promoting and clarifying the whole food plant based lifestyle and its benefits.
I have experienced myself what they are talking about. I changed my diet from eating 'everything' to vegan, and strictly fruitarian for three years (now I eat whole food vegan low fat), and my life changed radically.
I haven't been so healthy in my life, and still going strong at 44.
In my family's hystory has type 2 diabetes, but I didn't got sick nor needed a doctor since 11 years.
Fruitarian diet is superior in my experience, but socially is not easy, you need to eat a lot of fruits, and you become more sensible to the quality of them, and the imported ones or not ripe ones won't sadisfy you enough.
My family and peers weren't so supportive at first, they resisted the new data I was bringing in the family, in Italy we were 10 pp exploring fruitarianism, there were not doctors supporting us, and mainly we got laughted after. But we were shining, like this two guys here, and that is the evidence noone can deny.
Stay blessed!

I've been doing animal based keto for a couple years, with high carb days sprinkled in. I listen to a lot of low-carb info / promotion, and I like to also listen to opposing views. This channel is a great resource. I've added these guys' book to my reading list. It's interesting how "both sides" have studies and anecdotes to support their recommendations. I'm much more interested in the mechanistic side of things, but overall outcomes i.e. healthspan must be considered also. I wish the discussion on keto would have gotten more technical, since it wasn't even mentioned that ketones are a source of fuel and also act as hormones, and that fats can also be used by many cells directly as fuel. It paints the overall discussion with a heavy slant. Hopefully the book goes into more detail. I like how Rich often brings up the opposing view (in this case, keto) but I can't tell why he's so often satisfied with a shallow exploration and then just moves on. It doesn't seem to be deliberate, but more like confirmation bias. We're only human, though.
This is the nicest and most intelligent comment from a keto follower I have ever read. Usually its fuelled by hatred towards the pb community but your points are pretty good and I love the fact you seem open minded to research and other views. Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity today😊👍
I am not diabetic but have learnt alot to help me avoid becoming one. Have had a genetic test done and found that I have multiple "snips" that suggest a high saturated fat will adversely effect my Blood sugars. Thank you for this informative conversation. It does appear to me that diabetes is the real plague.
hey, can you link me to info on how saturated fat increases blood sugar. Never knew that was possible and really interested.
I have been using this method for 1 year and I have received impressive improvements, I recommend it to everyone.
I’ve been diabetic since my early 20s. Took Met Forman forever and have seen a slow progression in my diabetes all along on standard American diet which the doctors have prescribed to me. Went to the doctor in January of this year my A-1 C What’s 13 scared me to death have never heard of anyone having a 13. So I am now trying your plan and I’ll let you know.
Yea. That dude Met Forman is not to be trusted 😉
Kidding aside, best of luck!
If you start with some water fasting you will see immediate results. I went from 13 to 7 by short fasts. 3 to 7 days.
Any updates?
Only changing to low carb and high fat reversed my high triglycerides and low HDL.
Now have a 5.0 A1c. So I don't understand what these guys are talking about.
Ive been testing this for two days. Testing my blood glucose 2 hours post eating and at 12 hours fasting. Absolutely true. Two hours after eating 2 bananas, two pears and an apple I was at 94. I ate a pear and waited an hour. glucose was 81. 12 hours later. Glucose was lower than the meter can detect. I will continue testing, but my results are very close to their data.

Like Cyrus I tried the Keto/ Lo-Carb diet with horrible success. I was using 150-200 Units of Insulin. I switched to the Mastering Diabetes way of eating and my Insulin has decreased to 60-70 units a day and I anticipate that it’s going lower. Try this!

It seems like the big problem in insulin resistance is mixing carbs and fat. These guys resolved and managed insulin issues with a low fat high carb diet. Others seem to do the same on a high fat low carb diet. The problem area seems to be in the middle, where most of us sadly live.
This! 👍👍👍☺
Keto does increase insulin resistance: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31067015
You can argue that it is not as important on a keto diet, but the insulin resistance is there and will give you very high and very long blood sugar spikes when you then eat a normal meal.
Exactly!
"It seems like the big problem in insulin resistance is mixing carbs and fat. These guys resolved and managed insulin issues with a low fat high carb diet. Others seem to do the same on a high fat low carb diet. " The difference is that the very low carb route only fixes your glucose and insulin issues, but you still have insulin resistance and carb intolerance. Very low fat whole food plant based fixes the insulin resistance and carb intolerance too.

Im pairing HCLF with IF and lots of exercise. If you do mini workouts throughout the day it definitely improves insulin sensitivity and weight lifting is like free insulin to the body.
Jayda Millions I did, lost 60 lbs in the first 3 months and normalized blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure and GERD. My inflammation has been drastically reduced. I've lost an additional 26 lbs since and now that my chronic pain and inflammation is gone I intend to add exercise.
@Jayda Millions works wonders
@@reachrenhere I'm trying this now, its been 3 weeks , haven't jumped.on scale but I feel awesome. I'm fasting,.eating WFPB, and walking 10ksteps everyday. I love it!!
What foods to eat starts at 1:23:00 This is awesome. It's exactly what I've been interested in and has a lot of similarities to Esselstyn's diet to reverse heart disease. Glad to see you have an audiobook on Audible. Yes!
Im glad Rich took the time to ask Cyrus about his move to Costa Rica and he took the time to answer the question completely.
Ordered the book! Pre-diabetic and can’t wait to end all that! I love and miss rice so much! I can’t wait to get back to adding it to my diet again minus the oils and fat.
Wow! There have been some stellar episodes of RRP, it this is, hands down, the BEST episode yet! Cyrus and Robby are both so dynamic and educated and entertaining and the information is so exciting and fascinating!
I am a doctor (MBBS,India🇮🇳) and I can totally agree that doctors aren't taught anything relevant about nutrition and unfortunately they dont know any better!! This podcast like all other Rich's podcast were science based thought provoking and full of information that should reach more people..Healthy and diabetic!

Now i am definitely confused :(
Just watched a bunch of podcasts telling me how low carb/keto is gonna help with my auto immune desease, how its gonna make me live longer and generally healthier, because we are (evolutionary speaking) not used to eating that many carbs. And they also tell what eating lots of carbs is gonna cause like alzheimers and how ketogenic is showing improvements with alzheimer's and it made kinda sense that ketones are good for your brain( a neuro surgeon talked about that topic).
And than are these guys who just tell the complete opposite and also back it up with "science" just like the other people did :/
exactly so try both and judge your body feeling and then go for it. it should be simple. for me, keto is better all day.
The low carb promoters are lying to you. See plantpositive.com. The fact that they're lying does not mean that the diet they recommend can't be useful. It can be useful for a few but it's a very high risk and very unnatural diet.
The problem becomes when you combine high carb processed foods/oils with sugar. Isn't that the typical american diet which is causing all the health problems? Remove the processed foods/oils and eat a high carb whole foods/veggies diet and it might be ok.........for how long depends on the individual. Be aware that only 20% of the population will do fine on a high carb diet. Or, drop all the processed foods/oils and do a very LCHF (animal based fats) diet and you'll do excellent, that is, if you're not one of those who do best on a HCLF diet.
Btw, most of the science that these people are talking about are based on Epidemiological studies, which have been proven to not be reliable. And maybe that these guys are of the few who can do very well on a high carb diet.
@@CarschA There is no evidence at all that low carb diets based on animal origin foods are better than SAD based on junk foods. In fact the epidemiological evidence says the opposite. The animal foods are good for weight loss simply because they're unhealthy and you can't easily overeat on the most unhealthy foods.

@@incifisenk9945 Hi colleague! Same thing here in Finland. I irritate nutritionists and health professionals, who (for the reason I can´t figure out) don´t want to hear/read/discover about the different health effects between animal and plant proteins. Fortunately patients are more open minded. In what country do you live?
Soili Kasanen Hi🙋🏻Thank you for your kind sharing of experiences and observation on your country. I live in Turkey. My mother was an MD, too. For many decades, medical academic authorities had lynched even prestigious scientists who had alternative perspectives on nutrition and medicine. On the other side, for about 20 years my country has been ruled by an islamic government which gives extreme credit to abusive, nonscience, traditional practices. Briefly everything is getting worse for us who hold on scientific methods and rely on science based literature on medical practice. As a clinical microbiology specialist I am lucky; this abusive point of view can not approach to laboratory practices.
Thankyou , for this interview , and the info .I am doing there diet with no vegetable fat at all , got ride of avacadoes . and a little meat , was pre diabetic .I enjoyed five oranges was so nice . My blood glucose is slowly coming down .I was running to fined answers , Theise guys where last resort , was scared and skeptical , but now a believer .
Thankyou .
I thought avocados and nuts were ok because they are naturally occurring? Either way glad to see another successful person with eating this way!!
@@crazydaizy915 i thought meat was okay to
I was a believer in low diets for two decades, but only lost a significant amount of weight the first time. The following times they were disappointing as I ended up stalling pretty soon and I believe they just made me insulin resistant. Nine years ago I went plant-based and lost more than 30 pounds. unfortunately during a period of high stress I fell off the wagon and begsn eating lots of junk food , and even though I stopped that I later added cheese back. I also started eating fish, mostly oily canned fish, and I ended up with T2D.
Remembering what Dr. Neil, Bernard had said, I finally decided to go back to eating totally Plant based and eliminate added oils, at least as much as possible (I love natural peanut butter but I pour off a lot of the oil). I couldn’t quit “cold turkey” so only very recently I became plant-based again but I feel very motivated and hopeful.
I am 65 years old and don't have diabetes. I switched to a ketogenic diet along with intermittent fasting. Fat intake is ~40% or less with lots of vegetables, no processed grains, low sugar intake. I lost 30 lbs (180 to 150) and my energy level has increased dramatically. I guess that a low carb diet works as long as your pancreas is healthy.My arthritis has decreased dramatically.
How is that a ketogenic diet? 40% calories from fat is only slightly more than the average American, not the 70+% keto advocates propose.
What a great interview! I'm curious how the liver can handle so much fructose? IIRC fructose can only be processed in the liver, unlike glucose which is used throughout the body. How does the body process so much fructose? Particularly in the presence of fatty liver disease, a precursor to insulin resistance.
My niece passed away in Dec at age 11, while on vacation in a foreign country from undiagnosed Type 1. This talk makes me hurt.

There's lots of ideas on how to eat, but avoiding processed foods/sugar and adding fasting to your life seems to really heal the body overall for every type of eater. Great info!
My patients will benefit from my enlightenment. Thank you so much for your passion n for sharing. Well done! God bless you!
Cyrus commented that 90 percent of doctors are not trained in diet. I would add that the remaining doctors who are trained in diet , about 90 percent of those doctors are trained to advocate an improper diet. This is even more true for registered dietitians. There are, relatively, very few Dr. McDougalls, Neil Barnards or Caldwell Esselstyns out there who know the actual truth about the positive results obtained by eating a plant based and low fat diet. A whole foods, plant based, low fat diet is good for you, not only for diabetes type 1, 2, and 1.5, but also for obesity, cardiovascular risk, stroke risk, and other common diseases seen in Western society. I went through Cyrus and Robby's entire course online and it really helped me a lot.
and then you got people like me, who know whats up with no degrees
@Billy Rich so you are just going to ignore the fact that most doctors and dieticians dont know what they are talking about, or are compromised?
you just did whats called a red herring.. no one is saying what you are claiming, and you are simply using it as a diversion....
its not like doctors and dieticians cant change, and many are. its not that hard to get educated on the topic.
i doubt you are vegan, and if you are, your willingness to be intellectually dishonest is definitely not a boon
@Ariah Dela Cruz what are you, 14? grow up, kid.
@billy rich i dont understand how your indignation is a valid argument.. who gives a fuck what you think, seriously?
why dont you shut the fuck up, because all you are doing is making noise
@Billy Rich vegan dogma? the reason it seems rediculous to them is becsuse theyve literally been indoctrinated into exploiting animals..
children are taught responsibility with animals,
they are indoctrinated to see them as objects...
exactly WHAT IS you justification for needlessly exploiting animals that other indoctrinated people find rational?
come on mr "vegan"
Why a non-starch diet? what about sweet potatoes. FOK and McDougall have no issues with any type of potato...as long as it's prepared without any oils, fats, etc.
Root Vegetables esp potatoes are created to feed the plant and therefore are super concentrated in sugars
Correct, eating a whole foods plant-based diet with limited or no added oils is the best way to prepare potatoes. Potatoes offer SO many nutrients (especially orange and purple ones) to help manage health problems. In fact a quick tip: you can cook potatoes the night before, refrigerate them, and then their starch content will decrease. :)
If you listen to the full interview, they talk about 3 groups of food - green, yellow and red. Starchy veg is in the green group, so are beans and wholegrains (in other words, can eat in abundance). They do mention T1 might need tweaking with these rules though.
However their personal preferences are to eat mostly raw.

Dr Fung and Dr Westman and Dr Phinney have been using the science for 20years . They are neither mainstream nor newbies. I suggest starting there.
Except their diet doesn't actually cure the diabetes and has no long-term track record whereas very high carb diets do have a long-term track record.
100% THERE THATS WHERE I STARTED 2 YRS AGO WITH AMAZING RESULTS :) CHEERS XOXOX
I wish I had all this information 15-20 years ago. Thank you, Rich!
From the videos that I have watched since starting a low carb diet, I have realised that we each need to discover what works best for us as an individual.
I agree. I'm NOT diabetic but I'm also fighting with under active Thyroid and I JUST got the SCALE to move by RESTRICTING my CARBS..... I've been Vegan for over a year but veggies and fruits MOSTLY contain CARBS..... So I HAD to back out of there and add in some tuna ...... PLUS intermittent fasting, which works for me.........😊

Timing is important to let your blood insulin levels to go down - not just your blood glucose levels.

izhar khan are you eating any meat eggs or dairy?
it all makes sense because my grandpa was recently told he's pre diabetic and the doctor told him to cut carbs, but his diet literally consists of meat, potatoes, white bread, dairy, fish every so often, some veg, and that's about it, he's very lean borderline underweight and always has been, he hates sweet foods so doesn't really eat fruit or chocolate, no wonder he's pre diabetic, his diet is mainly animal products and refined carbs rather than based on whole plant foods, I hope I can tell him about this and he'll actually listen because I'm studying nutrition and already knew cutting carbs was not gonna help because unrefined carbs are what every human diet should mainly consist of, hopefully one day nutrition will be taught in schools and everyone can be healthier
Turned on to Rich Roll from Health Theory and Joe Rogan podcast and this has easily become one of my favorite podcast. I love the content, keep it coming!
So here’s my question, if insulin resistance is caused by excess lipid accumulation in the body then wouldn’t it make sense to focus on reducing that accumulation? Couldn’t it make sense to do a keto type diet which causes your body to burn that fat as fuel so that your overall lipid accumulation decreases. Wouldn’t your insulin resistance improve as a factor of the overall decrease in stored lipids?
What are the down sides this strategy?
@@blacksmithie I know I don’t need it. In fact I’ve lost a bunch of weight and fat recently by committing to eating wfpb. Seems like a lot of people benefit from keto so I still would like to better understand the science.
"So here’s my question, if insulin resistance is caused by excess lipid accumulation in the body then wouldn’t it make sense to focus on reducing that accumulation? Couldn’t it make sense to do a keto type diet which causes your body to burn that fat as fuel so that your overall lipid accumulation decreases." Vegans eating very low-fat diets have been found to about 1/3 less fat in their muscles than omnivores and low fat whole food plant-based diets are best for boosting the thermic effect of foods, indicating they do best to clear the excess fat out of muscles and prevent IR.

Most doctors I know don't support a "low carb diet" vegetables have a lot of carbs. What doctors have told me is to reduce grain based carbs (bread, gluten, bagels, rice etc). You can eat all the high carb vegetables that you want.
The best could happen is to hear a chat between Jason Fung and this guys. Nothing could be more interesting!!!
I am so glad this worked for you. As I understand it, the reason you can eat so much fruit and not impact your glucose is because the sugar in fruit is fructose which is digested in the liver into fat, if glucose is not needed. The leafy green and non-starchy vegetables are low carb. If I eat grains, starchy vegetables or sugar my glucose levels rise significantly. I can’t handle that type of food. You are scary to me, many of us with type 1 diabetes are doing very well on low carb diets. I would be able to respect you if you would offer this as an option, not the only solution. Everyone is different and our systems do better on different diets. Anyone interested in an alternative please check out Ben Bikman videos on RUclips.
Yes, it did seem to ignore what people also achieve on other dietary protocols. The outcome is the thing. It just seems like there are more ways to get thre than this podcast suggests.
Ki Rort - As a late 50's male Type 2 diabetic I most recently tried and stopped doing a totally WFPB diet CORRECTLY for 17 days, on day 17 my gums started to bleed a lot out of nowhere so I went into a dentist on a last-second emergency appointment and he asked me if I was vegan??? I was startled as like he was reading my mind, I told him yes for 17 days - he told me that this diet is doing this to me and other patients with the same and if I want to retain the remainder of my teeth I need to cease this diet immediately!!! He told me that the symptoms match low protein (even though I was eating so much lentils and beans for that) and that my body was begging for animal protein. Also I'll add that my fasting blood sugars were getting progressively worse last day at 181 and I was mostly feeling cold - not good!!!!! I did enjoy the foods and regret this didn't work for me, so I'm taking a step back to review if this diet is something I could possibly entertain doing in the future - otherwise, back to a keto-ish diet I go where I know my fasting blood sugars can be controlled, I feel like I'm in "food jail" and I don't want to take medications or insulin as the side effects will get me plus the high $ cost. I have a freezer filled with organic fruits that I don't know what to do with lol!

@@sandray7609 "how come the rest of us are fine after many years?" The "rest of us" is a subjective number, plenty of YT videos of EX-vegans who did a WFPB correctly for years who got sick and many with dental/digestive/skin/hair issues as well as some becoming anemic, also YT content on how badly many vegans age as well as there are many like me that haven't commented in these comments. By going low carb I know that I'm suppressing the type 2 diabetic issues but I do get normal blood sugars without any meds or insulin which I never took and refuse to in my life as a Type 2 diabetic. Do I wish I can eat a WFPB without meds/insulin/health issues? - YES! Might I try again without eating any starchy veggies which does a number on my fasting/daily blood sugars? - maybe. If these two people in the video were in my state I would pay them a visit.

Thanks, fellas! I'm sick of hearing all the so-called experts' bash carbohydrate-rich foods and telling people that keto/carnivore is the only way to reverse diabetes.
I think that the Intermittent fasting aspect of autophagy is what helps your body heal itself. Then you burn fat as ketones as fuel instead of carbohydrates. You also heal your gut microbiome. Keto is not high protein, but is actually lots of greens and fiber filled vegetables. Fruit that has fiber is ok but limited. As you heal your insulin resistance you can add more and more carbs. Sugar and processed foods of course are not in the diet due mostly because they affect our body in negative ways. Omega 6 fats are the kind of fats that cause the "fat issue". They are canola, soy, safflower, and other vegetable oils that cause the insulin resistance. We do need healthy fats that are Omega 3's and not vegetable oils. Most keto doctors do not encourage high animal proteins or fats. Instead the fats come from healthy omega 3 rich foods or oils. The idea is to first fix your gut bacteria and hormones so you are not craving food all day which causes weight gain and possibly metabolic issues. Most doctors also do not say to eat large portions of meat. The idea is for a person to release fat to be burned instead of carbohydrates. When you get healthy you can add carbs back. I like not craving food all day. If someone is not eating properly on the keto diet it will eventually show problems. Losing weight does not mean you are healthy. i do not think these two have really done their homework on what people experience on a healthy keto diet. I eat pretty much all kinds of healthy foods on the keto diet.
It's funny at the end of the podcast when they start talking about peer pressure and or outside influence and ways to combat it.
I went wfpb over five years ago and I would just say to all involved, "doctors orders". Little did anyone know, except a few insiders, was I am the doctor...... ; )

I love Cyrus and Robby not just because they are 100% right scientifically, but because they completely understand why people stick to low-carb diets. They don't do it because they are gluttons, or love bacon, or love hearing "good news about bad habits." They don't do it because they hate animals or the environment. They do it because 1) IT WORKS short-term and in fact improves all health measures - blood sugar, LDL, blood pressure and 2) They are LIED TO about WHY it works so they ruin their health long term. Robby totally nails it when he says, "They eat themselves into a state of insulin resistance and carb intolerance." This was me for years and years and I blamed myself for not sticking strictly enough to a low-carb diet because every bite of rice put on pounds overnight. I was sure the "natural" diet had to be mostly meat because anything else I just couldn't tolerate. I had CREATED insulin resistance with the low-carb high-fat diet that gave me the only way to lose weight I had knew of at that time. People need to know this, and they can't hear you if you're just telling them what gluttonous lazy bacon-loving liars they are. You have to say, "yeah, low-carb worked, this his HOW it worked short-term and this is WHY it made things so much worse long-term." Thanks so much you guys! The world needs you!
They are factually wrong about the biochemistry. They ignore the mechanism that increases adipocyte size. Insulin drives both fat and carbs into fat cells. The Western diet suffers from too many refined carbs driving glucose into fat cells where it is converted into triglycerides. Insulin also inhibits hormone sensitive lipase thereby blocking fat oxidation. Hence we get fat when we eat high carbs. Low glycemic carbs are your best bet...and I think that is what they are recommending.....but carbs also drive hunger and are not good for satiety.....cheat time! Fat + Carbs (any carbs) is a disaster.
